I briefly looked at log periodics and one thing
that hasn't been discussed here is the mediocre
SWR of LPDA's. You're pretty much going to have
to use a tuner, and you also have increased feedline
loss. Might work for some users, but I'm sticking
with my SteppIR antennas (3 of them so far).
An LPDA would however, make a good broadband receive
antenna for a skimmer, if you want to optimize
one direction.
